HEY GUYS!!
So im super new to XDA forums, but i came here to get some help. So ive never flashed a custom ROM before but ive read on it extensively and have an idea of the terms and what-not. i recently flashed my s2 i9100 to the latest cyanogenmod rom using their app and desktop aid. i really loved the new look and feel on my s2 and i was positive Sammy wouldn't be rolling out any future updates on this hardware.
After the honeymoon period was over i came to notice the grating little issues that made me switch back to official jellybean TW. The cyanogenmod firmware they flash with the app is 10.2, so its jelly bean 4.3. It was a "stable" firmware, so they say. Heres a list of the problems.
1. YouTube became very very pixelated and i did some searches and couldnt find a fix.
2. Games like Temple Run 2 performed much worse than with the stock OS, lots of frame skipping could be seen, which makes a game like TR2 unplayable.
3. There were alot of crashes on the stock cyanogenmod launcher, especially after installing apps.
I really appreciate the work cyanogen does but i posted these issues on their forums and i feel like im an isolated incident being that noone has posted on it.
SO IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS ME OR WITH ADVICE, PLEASE HELP ME OUT, IT WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED.
CM for i9100 are only nightlies.
Nightly means that the firmware is every (not anymore) day/night getting updated, why? Because of bugs. Nightlys are oftne minor bug improvments compared to the one before.
There are no stable CM roms, except CM 9 so i've heard, just Nightlies.
Hope this clears it up.
PS. Maybe you can try other roms that have CM base..
I am using cyanogenmod 10.2 nightlies right now in my I9100G, and i don't have any problems, wouldn't go back to stock. Games work much better for me because this ROM is lightweight and uses ram better, i never used the desktop aid so i can't comment on that but maybe you should flash from recovery, there might be bugs with that aid, and which cyanogenmod are you using? If you are trying to use kitkat, there will be lots of bugs its only natural because it's been 2 weeks since kitkat went out, try 4.3.

Oh thanks for the repl. I didnt know that the firmwares were nightlies when using the official app. i thought the app description was that it flashes the latest stable cyanogen build. Just a question, being that ive flashed it twice to try and mitigate the issues to no avail, (ive wiped dalvik and cache and formatted) whats my next step? i really liked it but those issues are pretty disappointing/

I would try it the "old" way but im a little afraid. do you think that the fact that you are using the G variant would make a difference?
the only way to make youtube better was to loas previous version. and the games didnt necessarily have a constant lag, it seems more like a frame sync or clipping issue than a frame chugging/ lagging issue. The cyanogen build i was using was 10.2. so it was 4.3.1. thanks for your reply.

Might be a unique problem for you. You can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532929
If it doesn't work, don't use cm and try other roms, as i said there might be a unique problem with your device.
I'm not going to make any recommendations because that's against XDA rules, but it stands to reason that the 10.2 builds won't be as 'polished' as the 10.1 builds purely because they haven't been under development for as long. If you don't like the bugs in 10.2, try something 'older'..........

Thanks for your replies guys,
im wondering if i should just wait for an official kitkat build.
but either way ill try your suggestions. looking forward to positive results.
just a heads up though i found another poster on a cyanogen forum that describes the same youtube problem. so maybe its not just me after all
There will be issues with the 10.2 builds for some time to come.....no disrespect to the developers, they've done /are doing a fantastic job to help keep the S2 alive. All custom ROMs go through this process and as they progress, the bugs become less and less.........
And as far as official KitKat.......not going to happen.....Samsung ended official support for the S2 with Jellybean....

Well overall the ROM is fantastic. I love the look and feel and added functionality. What I meant about waiting for official kitkat is an offcial rom from cyanogen based on kitkat. Im sure that support for s2 will continue so long as the hardware is capable.

I have tried all JB roms for the AT&T Samsung Note 1. Now I am currently running Collective. I have over the past 5 months read through all their Forums and troubleshooting and have followed all instructions to the T. I wont be bashed or called a noob because all phones are not alike and some users don't have certain issues from what I read. BUT others have most definitely had my issues lol. I get random reboots, also seems like phone does not update properly like updates for apps through play store. I reboot my phone and all of a sudden i get new emails and there's 5 updates where my phone while on told me nothing about them. The reboots are the bigger issue. Is there no Stable JB rom out there? I keep being told go back to ICS, which I am believing that after JB being out for so long nobody is able to make the roms stable. Never seen such a long period of no stable rom coming out for a phone. Appreciate any advice ty
Hmm, there is two that I know of now. Cyanogen mod 10, and paranoid android which has cm10 as a base

My first experience with CM10 was that it was not stable, especially coming from CM9 which was rock solid but the last week or so of builds have performed very well for me. Within the last week my phone has rebooted 2x's on me. Both were just as I hung up a call the screen froze then the phone rebooted. Otherwise, I have not had any issues. My previous ROM was JellyBeer which as not quite as stable but still pretty good. I did clean wipes, loaded CM10 (latest) then JB GAPPS 20121011. After rebooting the phone I run "fix permissions" from CWM. I go to the play store and download my apps from there and not from a back up. Hope this helps, good luck.

You must be ON CRACK? The PAC MAN rom is the most stable rom i have ever ran.... and i've tried them all. NO random reboots and no issues. give it a shot man
Isn't the cm10 Jellybean kernel for the note just a modified ICS Kernel with bits and pieces from other kernels put in one package in order to run Jellybean. There's the stability issue. There's no source for the GN Jb kernel yet so they'll be issues. In my experience reboots and lost data connection. That's why I went back to ICS. Everything works. But I would like to check out Paranoid Android 3.0 ,4.2 aospa builds coming out soon. Don't know if there using a cm kernel or in-house built.
Novena injected I717 Samsung Galaxy Note
Nov 8 PA and linero (pacman) kernel and only get a reboot one every 5-7 days . Were on all others was like 3-4 a day . Also I have found (I could be crazy) but when a reboot yellow screen of death occurs power off the phone then restart seems to stop the reboots for much longer ,not that I need to do it anymore.

DING DING DING!!!
No source, mo' problems!
We need source to drop for JB, especially the kernel source...
Until then, we can get "good" builds, but not "Great" builds...
Source is the key, and according to Samsung, the note will get the official upgrade in december...I dont know more than that.....g
so was there ever a great 4.04 aosp or aokp rom for the i717??
by great i mean everything working.. hdmi, usb otg, etc...
on the s2 it seemed that as soon as the source dropped everyone went to jellybean..
so there never was a near flawless build.. and there never were sources for the hdmi and some other drivers..
i dont see it being different on any samsung product..
See this is why I made this thread. Simply put I spend countless hours searching threads and topics and I jsut got 90% of my answers there. I have used cm Roms in the past and I liked them. I am not a expert at rooting but one gets there over time. I really do not think any question is a stupid one but where it posted can be wrong place to post. I do very much appreciate everything everyone has posted. If you have any other imput or great ideas please post. Again ty very much:good:
THE most important thing to remember is that no 2 phones will act the same on every ROM, so, anytime someone says a certain rom is great, or another one sucks, you can only take that with a grain of sand....the ONLY way to know how any rom will run for you is to install it on YOUR phone.
As others have said, until there is source from Samsung, NO JB rom will run perfectly 100% of the time for everyone, so, if you don't want to deal with the possibility of reboots or other weird issues, you are probably best sticking with an ICS rom...
Actually, I have found the JB's to be more stable than the ICS Roms. I have found AOKP Milestone 1 the most stable. No reboots and offers tabletUI if you want it.
Right now, I am running Dman's PACman and find it to be very smooth and stable.

I have been using AOKP Milestone 1 and haven't had many issues. There are a few bugs but nothing show stopping. I run mine at 240DPI and it looks beautiful and have only had 1 reboot. I would give it a try.
On crack lol appropriate but ok. I tried pacman at one point I loved all roms but no phones are equal ever jb rom at some point gave me reboots. Sporting padawan at the moment loving it

Well it appears that there are only nightly builds for the i9100, but I can't see any known problems.
This is my mum's phone, and she has been telling me it's really slow so I thought going from 4.0 stock to CM10.1 4.2 would really help that, with project butter and stuff.
She uses wi-fi tethering alot, and I've seen on alot of custom roms that that doesn't work, but as I said, I didn't see any known problems for the CM10.1 nightly build. I don't want to flash her phone with something that'll make her lose functionality.
Thanks guys

Install the samsung JB leak..I would not recommend CM since it is still under development. But there are no big issues i myself use it. But since its your mom's phone its better to keep it stock.
Also there isn't Project Butter in CM.
But did you flash with a full wipe? Quite strange your mom does notice it's very slow, because there are a lot of people (understatement) who are really satisfied with the performances of CM10.1.

Not your phone, not running stock & an 'average' user using it day to day sounds like asking for problems to me. And potentially a lot of you playing 'tech support'.
If it were me, I'd be leaving it stock.
Do a factory reset & a clean install of apps/etc if it's a bit sluggish (remember, you don't have first hand knowledge of this, just what she's told you & also remember she is an 'average' user, so it may be running just fine most of the time).
Why not Chameleon Rom?
I suggest to use this rom because it has the CM layout but its samsung base so no bugs

Supposedly 10.1 went 'official' for all devices that had a stable build, of which I thought we were one - but if you go to download it from the website, and do all the filters (samsung, phablet, cm 10.1), we don't get listed - you have to go back to CM 10.
What's the scoop? I'm really getting fed up with the absolutely stupid amount of lag (even after disabling and ripping out a ton of unnecessary apps), and am seriously considering moving over to CM - but since it's not listed as official/stable I'm a bit gunshy of suddenly going to buggy/reboot laden use rather than just slow/frustrating.

You are really exaggerating any flaws. Is your comment based on actual use? I went through most of the 10.1 roms and had little to no problems.
And the stock rom with bloated apps frozen is as smooth as I could hope for.
I don't think any rom will meet your standards . . . just sayin'

I don't know if I'm exaggerating the CM 10.1 issues - that's why I'm asking, are we on a stable build yet or not? As for stock/carrier ROM performance, I wouldn't call 5 seconds to unlock the screen into an SMS notification being frustrating and slow an exaggeration by any means - but outside of the rare app FC I agree that it runs pretty well otherwise and is why I've been content to run on it since it came out.
I'm a pretty easy pleaser as long as things function consistently and reliably. So as long as the crash/reboot issues for CM 10.1 are truly flukes, I'd be willing to give it a try. Does the i717 have a stable CM 10.1 build?

I had the same question about the stability of the CM10.1 stable, and made a post. Some people gave some feedback.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340057
I am using CM10.1 stable on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, and it works beautifully. But, I am not so sure about i717.
the msm8660 family *quincyatt/quincytmo/skyrocket/hercules* all have "stable" named builds from cm, though we dont actually have a "stable" 4.2.2 build
there is also another rom elsewhere that posts as "stable"
but until we get Bluetooth and Reboots fixed we dont actually have a true stable 4.2.2 build, some of us are lucky and avoid reboots and dont use bluetooth so we get "kinda a stable" build but in reality until those 2 main issues are fixed no one should be saying the word stable
but after all that said, if you set your phone up properly and dont bloat it with crap you should have a better experience then touchwiz
im not promoting my stuff over others but give uxylon+uber kernel combo a try. i havent had a reboot since june, but i dont use bluetooth so that issue doesnt effect me
*one of the keys to killing a lot of reboots on cm10.1/aosp is to turn off CRT
Looks like there's a new quincyatt stable release as of yesterday 7/10/13 for CM 10.1 - well, here goes nothing! :]
Okay, I have been on Jelly Beans ROMs since practically build 1, it seems. I have never tried out another ROM on this device. Something here lately has really gotten my attention though, and that is the "Halo" usage from ParanoidAndroid ROMs. I spent almost an hour last night reading through the bazillion pages on the Original Android Development tab for this ROM (PA). There were so many mixed reviews about what works and what doesn't on the latest release that I am not sure what to think.
My question is, ultimately, is there a build of ParanoidAndroid for VZW Note 2 that is "mostly" bug free (GPS, graphical issues, etc)? I even looked at JellyBam, but there is even less of a clear message with that ROM. I need something for a daily driver and really don't want to have to do work arounds for the things I typically do on my device (Phone Calls to Netflix and all between).
Anyone have any ideas? Like I said, the only build of Paranoid I could find was the newly released one that looks to be built off Android 4.3 (Cyanogenmod, I assume). If that is the case, from what I have read, there are a few things that aren't tied up completely on it. Older build of Paranoid maybe? (Where do I find that?)
Thanks for the help guys.

You can try the 4.2.2 version of paranoid android if you want to be conservative. I think it was 3.68 or something

Hi guys I have'nt found much information on this forum regarding the intermittent lag/crashes on G2s that I'm experiencing (d802 version specifically) running kitkat aosp ROMs so I thought I might report my experience to see if I'm not alone here.
After I upgraded from CM 10.2 to CM11 my device would start lagging at random times during the day followed itevitably by a crash mostly after about 3 minutes of use (messaging, browsing, youtubing etc) where the screen would freeze and go black (and eventually come back.)
A reboot was always necessary which resolved the problem temporarily. These crashes happened between 1-3 times per day and were extremely frustrating.
The device in question is a d802 running CM11 and stock kernel.
They happened after fresh installs, even with only system apps. I tried flashing a custom kernel, playing with different settings and switching to other kitkat ROMs with little to no change.
I finally bit the bullet and switched back to CM10.2 stable and all is well with my phone now. I couldn't make the phone lag if I tried, its back to its beasty glory.
This device clearly must have an issue with Aosp ROMs on kitkat (or maybe I just picked a bad one) and its a real shame. If anyone has the same problem please share your experiences and maybe we can get to the bottom of this thing

yep stock is better than cm11 or any aosp roms. aeonflex was a really good rom so was cloudy flex. they are flex based
CM11 has always been buggy for me. Try running a different 4.4 ROM,

If you want a AOSP rom really hard, try "Mahdi" rom.. i tried it for a day and it fits perfectly for me
But now i'm on stock rom (CloudyStock) because... it's awesome and i like the LG UI
Using Mahdi combined with the furnace kernel, no slowdowns and very rarely do I get random reboots. Highly suggested :good:
I have these freezes several times a day too. I noticed one time that my systemui stopped working with it
my guess: maybe it has something to do with the systemui?
CM11 ran great for me on my D801, but I just couldn't deal with the in call echo issue.

Pretty surprising that all the big players like cm or aokp would be the buggiest. At least there's other options for an upgrade

blame closed source drivers. the devs making these customs pull hattricks so you can have a custom rom. All without documentation and such, thats why they can be buggy.

Is the speed really noticeable?
Or
Is it worth it to upgrade just because of this speed factor?

Thanks for all the great suggestions guys. I'm currently using the latest carbon ROM nightly and its running like clockwork. Will update if anything changes though.
But its definitely worth experimenting with other ROMs.
